The accident happened at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday near the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge midway between Albany and New York City.

Police say Faraldi was piloting the plane from Nashville, Tenn., to an airport in Ghent, Columbia County. The jet, a British-made BAC 167 Strikemaster, had made a fuel stop at an airfield Johnstown, Pa., and did a flyover for friends at Kingston just before it crashed.
